Challenging Minds and Bodies

Working at TPIS has provided me with many great memories through our sports teams and enrichment activities. As an inclusive school, everyone has an opportunity to participate and challenge themselves – pushing their minds and bodies to be the best possible version of themselves that they can be.

Recently, I've felt that TPIS has developed to become a more supportive, welcoming and inclusive environment. And with that, I've had space to grow and learn to become a confident leader. I've had many opportunities to lead and inspire, such as during classes, events and being a head student.

A School That Inspires

School life at TPIS values creativity, community, and student voice. I’m able to bring drama and performance into learning, helping students grow in confidence and express themselves. Seeing children support one another and shine during performances makes this a truly rewarding place to work.
